By KENT BOOTY Courtesy of Public Affairs & The Farmville Herald Three women left a permanent and perplexing momento when they etched their first names into a window at Longwood College more than 100 years ago. A first-floor window in West Ruffner Hall bears three tiny signatures: Fannie, Estelle and Lucy. The names are arranged vertically, with Fannie on top and Lucy on the botton. Underneath Lucy is the inscription "1887." Finding out the identities of these three women has become a personal mission for Dr. James Jordon, professor of anthropology and sociology. Jordan has dug through the college archives, done research on glass, examined other 19th-century windows, and compared the lettering with facsimiles of hand-writing from that period. The names were discovered by Jesse Grant, a partner in Grant's Glass, when he was reglazing windows on campus in May. He pointed out the window to Jordan, under
whom he had taken a noncredit archeology, class in 1988. Jordan thinks the names were written with a diamond, probably a diamond ring. The grooves in Fannies name are not etched as deeply as those in the other two names. Dr. Carolyn Wells, a Longwood biology professor who shares Jordan's interest In history, theorizes that Fannie wrote first and that her ring was used; therefore, she didn't press as hard as her classmates. Because the names are angled sharply to the right. Jordan thinks the women rested their arms against the window molding when they wrote. The signatures and date, about four feet off the floor, are nearly flush against the side of an inside window They measure about an inch from top to bottom and leta than an inch across "I think this was their dorm room although we cannot say for sure what West
Ruffner was used for at that time." Jordan said. Jordan, who checked mid 19th century handwriting in windows of two homes on Beech Street, said the callig raphy in the Longwood win dow is "consistent with what you would have seen 100 years ago." He and Grant are convinced the glass dates from at least 1887: Grant pointed out several bubbles and other imperfections thai he said isn't found in modern glass. Establishing the Identities of the women and gathering information on them has proved to be difficult. Checking archival materials in the registrar's office. Jordan had found there was only one Estelle at Longwood In 1887. but three Lucy's and no fewer than seven Fannies. One of the signatures belonged to Estelle Ransone, an 1887 graduate whose hometown is listed as "Matthews" — presumably the town of Mathews in Mathews County. According to an 1890 college document, she was then studying art in Boston and had taught in Mathews (spelled correctly) and In North Carolina. Jordan eliminated four of the Fannies because they were from Farmville and probably lived at home, and removed two others from consideration because they were not listed on the 1887 grade rolls. The top signature apparently is that of Fannie Jeffress, also an 1887 graduate, who was from Palmer Springs In Mecklenburg County. Just a few miles from the North Carolina line. The bottom signature probably belonged to Lucy Boswell. an 1889 graduate whose hometown Is un-

known. Students then completed a two-year program; although Lucy graduated two years after Fannie and Es telle. she apparently had missed a year. Several persons helped Jordan in his research, including Jane Andrews, of Institutional Advancement, who looked up records in the registrar's office: Jackie Horsey, a student who is writing a senior honors the sis on Dr. William H. Ruffner. Longwood's first president: and Sharon Grigg. of Continuing Studies, whose disk is only a few feet from the window. In 1887. the year the names were inscribed, the State Female Normal School was only three years old. and Dr. Ruffner resigned and was replaced by Dr. John A. Cunningham. Tuition In 188f> 8G was $30 for Virginia students, room and board (including laundry) was $12. and enrollment was 172. according to ihe catalog. "When you think about these names. It all makes sense — the two seniors. Fannie and Estelle. wrote first, and the freshman. Lucy, went last." Jordan said. "It's frustrating research: In part. Sherlock Holmes-style detective work, and a considerable amount of speculation. It has turned out to be a fascinating glimpse of a minute out of Longwood's past."
Editor's Note: Dr. Jordan has gotten permission to have the window removed and placed in storage from Dr. Patricia Lust. Dean of Con tlnuing Studies. This will not only prevent accldenth/ dam age to the window but, allow more research to be conducted and be preserved as a Longwood artifact for future Longwood students to enjoy.

COMMENTARY Letter From The Editor
The RQTUNDA
Communication Is Key To Change I have been known to defend the underdog from time to time as I did recently for Ixingwood College. I stand firm on my belief that If you can't stand what goes on here, you have the option to leave. However, the red tape has overcome me recently as well as my roommate and countless others and so I am here to say a few things. Mainly I would like the administration of Longwood to know that there are too many mistakes and a serious lack of communication. Why wait until the last minute to tell someone that they owe money? This was recently done to myself and to make it worse. I had to go to five different people in five different offices to get an answer that I
needed. I cannot begin to explain my fury although I know many people share in this type of frustration. The point. Longwood. is not the money, but the fact that no one even thought to inform me of this months ago. I have since calmed down and resigned myself to checking for my name on lists that I would not expect my name to be on; Just in case. My roommate has learned the same lesson. She has had to pay for a parking ticket that she never got. Of course no one bothered to inform her until she went to pay for the one she got. Once again, lack of communication. Why it has to be this way is unknown to me. Never before in my 2-1/2 years at
this school, have I seen it in such class. Is it really too much to alert people when money is due? And can it be done at least a week before it is too late? A week for those of us that owe fines or such. It is unacceptable to give someone a week to find tuition money and this was the case at the beginning of the year. Again a lack of communication. There is only so much that one person can take and Longwood should be forewarned. It may not seem urgent right now. but this type of administration will go too far. Students will tire of running around in an endless circle; parents will tire of hearing the problems and so solve it by having that stu-

dent transfer elsewhere. Longwood could stand to lose many people who could have contributed greatly and positively to the Longwood community and to the longwood reputation. This is not a threat, just a word of advice. Most of us really do love Longwood. most of us really want to stay here, but you are making it difficult to keep a positive attitude. Work with us, not against us and maybe we can help make a change for the better. To all the students, don't just complain, say something or do some thing. You have to live in this society to and it would be nice if we could transform this monarchy into a democracy we could all be proud of. Monica Cilbert Editor-in-chief

Ranger Challenge showed that a small school like Longwood can be competitive with VMI. Madison, and Tech. And Karl Schneider quoted. "It was a lot of fun. We had been getting up at 5:30 every morning and it was nice to see all our hard work come together. Although not everyone got to go to Ranger Challenge, there were some cadets that trained with the Rangers and they helped to make the difference in training the team."

Food Drive For Needy With the Thanksgiving holidays fast approaching. our thoughts once again return to those individuals in the surrounding community less fortunate than ourselves. One manner by which needy individuals can be assisted is through the efforts of a canned food drive. REACH. the campus volunteer organization, is co-sponsoring such a food drive with the Frazer residence hall. The dates for the canned food drive are November 1-November 20.
Boxes are located in the front offices of all the residence hall for the collection of the canned food. In addition, donations of money are also welcome; the money will be used to purchase food at the Food Bank at reduced prices. In turn, the food collected and purchased will be distributed by FACES-Farmville Area Community Emergency Services, a local organization involved with aiding those in need. A dance will be held on the
evening of Friday. November 16. The dance will be held in the Commons Room between Curry and Frazer. Admission will be either 50 cents or a can of food. Finally, the hall or organization donating the greatest amount of food and/or money will be rewarded with a pizza party. If you have any questions, call Kevin Wasinger at 3920 or Michael Herndon at 2514. Thanks for your participation and hope to see you at the dance.

Lady Lancers Open Season In Ship. University Tourney By CHARLEY JACOBS The Longwood women's basketball team travels to Shlppenburg. Pa. to participate in the Shlppensburg University Tournament this Friday and Saturday. The Lady Lancers open play in the 1990-91 season In a contest pitting the team against Pace University Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. Longwood will play either Shlppensburg or Concordla College Saturday. In the second day of the tournament. This will be the first time these two teams have met. which leaves some doubt as I to who will start for the Lady Lancers and the type of atI tack the coaching staff will utilize. Possible starters for I Longwood includes seniors i Carmille Barnette and Ann Callaham. Juniors Teresa | Carter. Salene Green, and Cassie Mullenlx and freshI man Cassie Ensley. I have absolutely no idea I about our opposition (in the I first game]." commented head coach Shirley Duncan, "we |are Just going to have to play our type of game and execute Iwell and hope everything works out."
Longwood demonstrated Its type of play Sunday evening when It hosted a closed-to-the-publlc preseason scrimmage versus Team Avia, an AAU club from Richmond. Longwood held a 45-39 lead at the end of the first half, but struggled early In the second period. The Lady Lancers tied the score at 67 with less than a minute remaining when Barnette burled a three-pointer. A shot by Team Avia's Cindy Eckel at the buzzer, however, sealed the game In favor of the visitors. 69-67. Eckel scored 1.029 points while playing at Longwood (197983). "We weren't scheduled to play this scrimmage, but because the University of District of Columbia was dropped from our schedule. It gave us an opportunity to play this game." explained Duncan. "The scrimmage was a chance for us to see some things that we miss in practice. One thing in particular is that we are not boxing out and are giving up second and third shots. But we have a week to work on these things In practice."
Safer (Continued from page 1) The national Center for Disease Control suspects that one in every 300 college stu dents is infected with the AIDS virus. The U.S. Army estimates 600 new infections each year within its ranks. These statistics, plus the number of persons already known to be Infected with one or more of the 25 STDs. adds up to a frightening world health crisis.

Eagles Upend Lancers 2-1 in VISA Championship A successful season ended on a down note for the Longwood soccer team Saturday when an Inspired effort came up short in the Virginia Intercollegiate Soccer Association title game. Rival Mary Washington held off the Lancers for a 2-1 win and the VISA title. It was a bitter disappointment for Longwood. and in particular for four seniors who played their last college game. Seniors Ray Jones. Mitch Rubin. Nils McCarty and Rodney Funk played on teams which compiled a record of 50-24-4. Longwood qualified for the VISA Playoffs three of four years, but was unable to win a title. Spurred on by several hundred vocal fans Saturday. Longwood fought back from a 1 -0 halftime deficit behind a furious attack in the second period. Even after a rapid-fire
series of point-blank shots failed to cross the Mary Washington goal, the Lancers continued to attack. Longwood tied the count wiih 25 minutes left as Brendan Nash headed in a corner kick by Jones. "I can't believe some of those balls didn't go In," said Lancer coach Stan Cieplinski. "It was a rough game, but we played well." Mary Washington held off the Longwood comeback and got the game-winner with 18:39 left. Junior Bill Gavin scored a pair of goals to lead the Eagles. Mary Washington, which won its third VISA title since 1984. ended the year with a 13-5-2 record. The Eagles had 11 shots to 10 for Longwood. The Lancers finished with an 11-6-1 mark. Longwood had beaten Mary

The five will play for the East in the VISA AllStar game in December. Jones, who finished his career with a school record 70 goals and 43 assists was named all-division for the fourth straight year. Rubin, who had three goals and three assists this year, was chosen for the second lime. Johnson was Longwood's second-leading scorer with five goals and two assists. A standout on defense. Nash also scored four goals. Hogan logged seven shutoffs. while holding the opposition to 22 goals in 17 games. He had a goals against average of 1.33.
Lancer Basketball Season Begins With Par-Bils Tip-Off After weeks of playing against themselves, the Longwood men's basketball team will have a chance to face some outside competition Friday when the 1990-91 season kicks off in the eighth Par-Bils Tip-Off Tournament at Longwood. The Lancers will play Mercy College at 7 Friday in the tournament opener while Lenoir-Rhyne and Francis Marion, a pair of teams who topped the 20-win plateau last year, square off at 9:00. The consolation and championship games are slated for 6:30 and 8:30 Saturday night. Cheyney University beat the Lancers 69-64 in last year's tournament champi-
onship. The Lancers had won the title three years in a row prior to 1989. Par-Bils Food Store of Farmville is sponsoring the event for the eighth year. First year coach Ron Carr says his team is making some strides in preseason workouts. "We're starting to make some progress, but it's hard to assess our chances, because I don't know much about the competition." said Carr. "Depth and consistency are the big questions. We look very good at times and very poor at times. "We have some talented players, but they've never had to carry a team before. They're going to have to step
forward and be leaders. We have so many new players, a new coach and a new system, but we're beginning to play together as a team." Carr expects Junior Joe Lowe and senior Billy Dunn to start at guard; senior Keith Katimer and sophomore Eric Letts at forward, and senior Greg Holloway at center. Dunn and Holloway were starters a year ago. Forward Byan Weaver, a 65 sophomore, has been slowed by a sprained ankle, but should be available for at least limited duty. Juniors Travis Bohrer. Jay Bunnell. sophomore Keith Crabtret and freshman Michael Druid are also expected to see ac tion off the bench.
